Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 You keep playing the same old record of 76 years. You came as “the real people of bitter politics,” but risk becoming “the sleeping people of real politics.” We wish to enjoy the Government’s benefits as citizens, not oppose for opposition’s sake. Please be prudent. Thank you.
